Reefers best here. Just gotta buy a few at a time cause it's sometimes hard to get.

Love the Reefer's best. Mixes clear and with consistent results. Tough to get unless you live on the coast.

Been using salinity for a while but found it doesn't mix as clear as reefer best

Salinity.
I like that it takes less volume of salt to reach my target ppt in a 5 gallon bucket, good solubility, and my sps are showing noticeable growth. No experimental design deployed, just anecdotal. Yeah, it's a bit cloudy after a w/c but clears up within an hour or so. I don't bother to pre-dissolve hours before. I also like the buckets/lids they come in... does that count? |

I also enjoy the enthalpy of dissolving Salinity salt... the thermodynamic energy released when the molecular bonds of the salt crystals break apart in dissolution is enough to melt thin plastic such as those of a common soda bottle. It's fun to play with, though not really practical in application...
ok, I'm really procrastinating from work... it's true. |

I prefer H2Ocean for my reef tanks, but I prefer IO for my fish only tanks. By your post I'm assuming you are asking which is the preferred salt for reef tanks, so I voted for H2Ocean.
I like H2Ocean for reef tanks because I only have to add magnesium and potassium, plus I prefer the lower (than IO) alkalinity so I can keep the alkalinity below 8 dKH in my reefs. It also mixes up much cleaner than IO which leaves a brown residue on the sides of the mixing barrel. I like IO for fish only tanks because of the higher alkalinity and the cost.

I like KENT sea salt, but I don't have a LFS so I use what I can get!
